Custom Block Types

Custom block types are like mini content types, as we can add fields to them for specific purposes.

These are the ones that currently exist:

  • Alert

  • Basic block

  • Image

  • Video

Alert

Alert blocks provide an area to add text and a selector to choose the “background“ color. These use Bootstrap alerts styling.

Basic

Basic blocks provide fields for a simple title and text block to be added to pages.

Image

Image blocks provide the ability to upload an image, add an optional caption, and provide a link (that will wrap the image on display).

Video

Video blocks provide a video field to embed YouTube or Vimeo videos.
